It lays before me

I will live and die as all humanity has

I will live with unrealized potential

I will die in vain

I will live with unjustified privilege

I will die unfulfilled

I will live and die and love and cry quietly and unnoticed

I will have bled, upset my pathetic life in constant confusion

I will have searched, realized that the truth never existed while it lay undiscovered before me

I will have learned, dumbed by a false truth that all is irrelevant

I will have cowered, incapacitated by an instilled fear

I will have hated, known the fury and the motivation of it

I will have despaired, daily destroyed by my own futility

I will have bled, drank vital from humanity because of my birth

I will have consumed, killed for my own waste and greed

I will have loved, revered the joy and the pain of it

I will have produced, felt the slavery and the empowerment of it

I will have cared, consumed on occasion by compassion and guilt

I will have marveled, awed by nature and its life

I love life (I love you)

It will all be done soon now

One more sublime waste in all its grandeur

A nothing requiem will lay testament to a nothing life

I, one more unknown, will rise and fall in anonymity
